  2. Switched-mode power supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched-mode_power_supply

    Stand-alone switched-mode power supply An adjustable switched-mode power supply for laboratory use. A switched-mode power supply (SMPS), also called switching-mode power supply, switch-mode power supply, switched power supply, or simply switcher, is an electronic power supply that incorporates a switching regulator to convert electrical power efficiently.

  3. Regulated power supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulated_power_supply

    With the help of a rectifier it converts AC supply into DC. Its function is to supply a stable voltage (or less often current), to a circuit or device that must be operated within certain power supply limits. The output from the regulated power supply may be alternating or unidirectional, but is nearly always DC (direct current). [1]

  4. Error correction code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_correction_code

    The two main categories of ECC codes are block codes and convolutional codes. Block codes work on fixed-size blocks (packets) of bits or symbols of predetermined size. Practical block codes can generally be hard-decoded in polynomial time to their block length. Convolutional codes work on bit or symbol streams of arbitrary length.

  5. Power supply unit (computer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply_unit_(computer)

    When a computer is in ACPI S3 sleep mode, only +5 V SB rail is used. There are two basic differences between AT and ATX power supplies: the connectors that provide power to the motherboard, and the soft switch. In ATX-style systems, the front-panel power switch provides only a control signal to the power supply and does not switch the mains AC ...

  6. Burst error-correcting code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burst_error-correcting_code

    Proof. We need to prove that if you add a burst of length to a codeword (i.e. to a polynomial that is divisible by ()), then the result is not going to be a codeword (i.e. the corresponding polynomial is not divisible by ()).

  7. Ripple (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_(electrical)

    The filtering requirements for such power supplies are much easier to meet owing to the high frequency of the ripple waveform. The ripple frequency in switch-mode power supplies is not related to the line frequency, but is instead a multiple of the frequency of the chopper circuit, which is usually in the range of 50 kHz to 1 MHz. [citation needed]

  8. Inrush current limiter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current_limiter

    The most popular application is the inrush protection of the AC current in switching power supplies (SPS). The primary reason for having surge current suppression in a SPS is to protect the diode bridge rectifier as the input or charging capacitor is initially charged. This capacitor draws significant current during the first half AC cycle and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Switched-mode_power...

    Switch mode power supplies usually (but not always) work best for situations where you are only using the equipment some of the time, and where the standby losses of a transformer would be greater than the slightly higher conversion losses of a switch mode power supply when in use.GliderMaven 01:57, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
